Dealers especially ignore non-silver coins. They know silver has a value and will usually look it up, if just to find out the silver content....
Well, it's new to me. It is interesting how the U.S. seems to cling to cash more than many other countries. I think going digital is a problem for...
Interesting article on the pending demise of money in Scandinavia. http://money.cnn.com/2015/06/02/technology/cashless-society-denmark/index.html
It's random. I haven't had much luck lately either but then one time I'll hit the motherlode. The problem with Coinstar as opposed to say a bank's...
I've never gotten one in my life.
Very nice. My half puffin I was lucky enough to find in my local coin shop's 25 cent bin. It's not as nice as yours but the price is right. Photo...
I know you said you didn't want to look it up, but this article isn't too long and explains it well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coins_of_Lundy

great, thanks.
Can anyone explain how you distinguish a b no I from an m mintmark for 1943? The m is no mintmark at all like the P on U.S. money, and if there's...

Why would they do that though? I've bought from this seller many times and never had any reason to suspect monkey business.
I bid about $3 each on these two auctions for a 1877 and 1878 1/12 anna. The book value is between 50 cents for F and $6 for Unc. I don't see any...
There are a handful of other sites where I occasionally buy coins. Some of them are free and don't charge sellers. The problem is there is a small...
